Tim Kleindienst - Suffers knee reaction Kleindienst suffered a knee reaction in the DFB Pokal game against St. Pauli and is ruled out for the time being, coach Eugen Polanski said in the press conference, according to Sp...

Impact Kleindienst suffered a setback from his knee injury after returning from a long spell on the sidelines and will now have to miss some time again to recover. The striker and captain will have to be assessed to know the exact timeline to return, but he is unlikely going to be risked before 2026. This will allow Haris Tabakovic to keep a larger role in the frontline of Gladbach until he comes back to full fitness.

Franck Honorat - Suffers apparent calf injury Honorat provided one assist before being forced off due to an apparent calf injury in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat against St. Pauli in the DFB Pokal, according to 90min.

Impact Honorat had an excellent outing in Tuesday's DFB Pokal game as he was very impactful in the frontline with his crosses, finding an assist for Haris Tabakovic's equalizer before being forced off a few minutes later due to an apparent calf injury. This is a blow for Gladbach since he has been the main reason for the recent good form of the club with four victories in a row across all competitions and the promising draw against Leipzig on Friday. If Honorat had to miss time due to injury, Shuto Machino is expected to get a larger role in the frontline until he returns.

Robin Hack - Suffers setback Hack has suffered a setback and is questionable for Tuesday's DFB Pokal match against St. Pauli, according to manager Eugen Polanski. "Unfortunately, Hacki's had another setback r...

Impact Hack has been battling a knee issue since the start of September and has suffered a relapse, as the attacker is now battling his fitness again. This will leave him questionable for the few matches they have this week, possibly missing out on facing Mainz on Friday. This is a rough development for the midfielder, as he started in three games to begin the season before his injury.

Florian Neuhaus - Suffering from muscle injury Neuhaus is out for Tuesday's DFB Pokal match against St. Pauli due to a muscle injury, according to manager Eugen Polanski. "Flo has a muscle problem."

Impact Neuhaus would come off the field in the 73rd minute of Friday's outing and is now dealing with an injury, as the midfielder is out for the time being due to a muscle injury. This is rough for the club and something to watch, as he has started in six of their past seven games. A return date is up in the air, with Giovanni Reyna or Kevin Stoger as possible replacements.

Rocco Reitz - Notches four crosses Reitz generated one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig.

Impact Reitz had a decent match but couldn't alter the outcome of the game, with his one shot, chance created and four crosses in the attack to go along with two interceptions, two clearances and three tackles in the defense, not changing much. He still has only earned one goal contribution all season, not too surprising after only three in 27 appearances all of last season.

Florian Neuhaus - Two shots Friday Neuhaus had two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 0-0 draw versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Neuhaus was not all too influential in Friday's outing, as the midfielder would only record two shots and one chance created in the attack to go along with two tackles won and three clearances. This marks his sixth start in their past seven games, appearing to have won over a starting role after a rotational spot to begin the campaign.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Franck Honorat - Leads team in crosses Honorat recorded two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Friday's 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig.

Impact Honorat would have a few chances to score Friday but struggled to see much success, with his best contribution being his six crosses. This ends his assist streak, as he had earned one in three straight outings. He remains with the three assists as his only goal contributions this season, still in search of his first goal.

Moritz Nicolas - Clean sheet against Leipzig Nicolas recorded four saves and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 0-0 draw versus RB Leipzig.

Impact Nicolas would hold his ground for a solid outing Friday, recording four saves as he maintained a clean sheet. This gives the keeper another clean sheet after he earned one last time out as well, with five in 12 appearances this campaign. He will face Mainz in their next contest, a tall task to earn a third straight clean sheet.

Impact Castrop suffered a hamstring injury following a run in the 83rd minute of Fridays draw against Leipzig which forced him off the pitch as he could not carry on. The defender will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue but he could be set to miss several weeks if the injury is confirmed. If he had to miss some time, Marvin Friedrich could be set for increased playing time in the backline for Gladbach.

Impact Kleindienst was very close to make his return from the knee injury he suffered at the end of last season which made him miss the start of the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign and is returning to the bench for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim. The captain of Gladbach would likely see limited minutes as he begins easing back into action and gradually rebuilds his match fitness. Kleindienst scored 16 goals and provided nine assists in 31 appearances last season, highlighting how important it will be for the team to have him available again.

His return could come on Saturday against Heidenheim if he is able to answer the call and be part of the match squad.
